The captions:
De Russische Czaren-familie te Moskou ter gelegenheid van het 300-jarig Regeeringsjubileum van het Huis Romanow.
In ons nummer van 8 Maart zijn eenige afbeeldingen en portretten geplaatst, die betrekking hadden op laatstgenoemd vorstenhuis.
De Czaar heeft nu onderscheidene historischbelangrijke plaatsen in zijn rijk bezocht en zijn tournee besloten met een bezoek aan Moskou, de aloude hoofdstad van Rusland en tevens de tweede Keizerlijke residentie.
Op de foto boven ziet men Czaar Nicolaas, de Czarina, alsmede de bijna 9-jarigen Czarewitch, die door een officier op de armen gedragen wordt; dit is de eerste foto, die van den jeugdigen troonopvolger genomen is nà zijn ziekte, waarover zooveel geschreven en gesproken is en waarvan hij nog niet geheel hersteld schijnt te zijn.
De opname werd gedaan éven voor den aanvang van den eeredienst in het wereldberoemde Kremlin, het grootsche symbool van Ruslands klimmende macht en grootheid.
De foto rechts geeft te zien de Czaar met zijn vier dochters Olga (17 j.), Tatiana (16 j.), Maria (14 j.) en Anastasia (12 j.), die het Keizerlijk Echtpaar begeleid hebben.
English translation (my own):
The Russian Imperial Family in Moscow on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the House of Romanov.
In our issue of 8 March, a number of images and portraits were placed that related to the latter royal family.
The Tsar has now visited several historically important places in his empire and concluded his tour with a visit to Moscow, the ancient capital of Russia and also the second Imperial residence.
The above photo shows Tsar Nicholas, the Tsarina, as well as the almost 9-year-old Tsarevich, who is carried in the arms of an officer; this is the first photograph taken of the young heir to the throne after his illness, about which so much has been written and spoken and from which he seems not to have recovered completely.
The record was made just before the commencement of worship in the world-famous Kremlin, the grand symbol of Russia's climbing power and greatness.
The photo on the right shows the Tsar with his four daughters Olga (17 years old), Tatiana (16 years old), Maria (14 years old) and Anastasia (12 years old), who accompanied the Imperial Couple.
